H died and his heirs challenged W's right to take the fee by survivorship. The trial court held that a tenancy by entireties had been created and the wife properly took the fee.

Marital Property In Conflict Of Laws, By Harold Marsh, Jr. (1952), Luvern V. Rieke

Washington Law Review

The avowed purpose of Marital Property in Conflict of Laws is to demonstrate the "correct analysis" for the problem above and a host of similar intriguing choice-of-law questions involving marital property. Laid out between the covers of this comparatively thin volume is as fine a study, as lucid an explanation, and as great a number of practical guideposts for the rational solution of these problems as has yet been made available. The value of the work to the practicing attorney is considerably enhanced by the author's careful attention to the statutes and cases, a welcome change of fare from the …

Delinquent Parents And The Criminal Law, Frederick J. Ludwig Jun 1952

Delinquent Parents And The Criminal Law, Frederick J. Ludwig

Vanderbilt Law Review

"There are no delinquent children; there are only delinquent parents." This tautological truism has long been the speaker's mainstay at Rotary luncheons, parent-teacher meetings, and assorted roundtables and institutes on juvenile delinquency. When a New York Children's Court judge undertook to put the principle into practice five years ago, a storm of controversy was unleashed which has not yet subsided. The case, tragic enough, involved 14-year-old Frankie, who scored hits on three passers-by with a stolen gun. The boy, who had been sleeping in hallways and on buses, was committed as a juvenile delinquent to a state training school. His …

Divorce Decree—Procedure To Invoke Jurisdiction To Modify, Raymond H. Siderius

Later H remarried and established residence in Montana, and, in order to enable the children to visit him there, filed a motion and affidavit for an order that W show cause why the decree should not be modified. The show cause order was granted, but meanwhile W, in an original application in the Supreme Court, requested a writ of prohibition restraining the Superior Court from modifying. She contended that Superior Court jurisdiction to modify cannot be invoked …

Michigan Law Review

A father signed his daughter's application for a driver's license in accordance with the terms of a Utah statute, which required that the application for a minor's driver's license be signed by the parent or guardian, and imputed liability for the minor's negligence or wilful misconduct to the person signing the application. Before the daughter reached her majority (i.e., eighteenth birthday), the following events took place: (1) her mother was given sole custody of her in a divorce action; (2) she married; and (3) she negligently drove her car against the plaintiff, who brought suit against the daughter, her husband, …


Evidence-Privilege-Confidential Communications Between Husband And Wife, James I. Huston Apr 1952

Evidence-Privilege-Confidential Communications Between Husband And Wife, James I. Huston

Michigan Law Review

Husband sued for divorce alleging that wife drank excessively and humiliated him in public by her conduct, and that she continually made false and profane accusations designed to make his life unbearable. As proof of the latter charge, plaintiff was allowed to introduce in evidence a wire recording of conversations between plaintiff and defendant in their bedroom. Plaintiff's son by a previous marriage had, by prearrangement with plaintiff, installed in their bedroom a microphone connected to a wire-recorder in the son's adjoining bedroom, with which recordings were made of four separate conversations between plaintiff and defendant. The recordings substantiated plaintiff's …

Trusts-Illusory Transfer-Rights Of Surviving Spouse, Carl S. Krueger

Michigan Law Review

ln 1939 Henry Halpern drafted a will naming his wife executrix and sole beneficiary of his estate. In 1946, about the time he and his wife separated, Halpern opened four savings accounts in his own name in trust for his infant granddaughter. While Halpern made subsequent deposits in two of them, he made no withdrawals; nor did he in any other manner revoke the trusts. Although evidence did not establish them as irrevocable trusts, it did show that Halpern on occasion indicated he meant the bank books to go to his granddaughter. Subsequently his wife, as executrix, instituted proceedings to …

Conflict Of Laws-Full Faith And Credit-Custody Decrees, James I. Huston

Husband and wife, living in Ohio, were separated in 1945, the only child going to live with the paternal great-grandfather in Pennsylvania. Husband and wife were divorced in Ohio in April 1949.

Evidence-The Use Of Blood Grouping Tests In Disputed Parentage Proceedings-A Scientific Basis For Discussion, Lewis R. Williams, Jr. S.Ed. Feb 1952

Evidence-The Use Of Blood Grouping Tests In Disputed Parentage Proceedings-A Scientific Basis For Discussion, Lewis R. Williams, Jr. S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Much has been written concerning the validity of the so-called "blood-grouping tests" in bastardy and other legal proceedings. The general tenor of the writings is in favor of wider acceptance by the courts of the results of these tests. This comment is to be no exception. However, it is the purpose here to emphasize the scientific validity of the blood-grouping tests and to acquaint the reader with the theory upon which the tests rest. If lawyers and judges understand the scientific basis of the tests, a more intelligent decision upon the validity of any given result can be formed, and …


Conflicts Of Law-Divorce-Res Judicata Effect Of Decree As To Third Parties, Paul M.D. Harrison S.Ed. Jan 1952

Conflicts Of Law-Divorce-Res Judicata Effect Of Decree As To Third Parties, Paul M.D. Harrison S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Respondent had applied for a determination of petitioner's rights under the New York Decedent Estate Law, which provides for the widow taking a statutory one-third share in her husband's estate after his decease. Respondent contended that petitioner was not a widow of decedent, as the prior divorce awarded against decedent in Florida was void because of failure to satisfy residence requirements. The evidence showed that the residence requirements had not been met, but also showed both of the parties to the divorce to have made appearances in the Florida court. The trial and intermediate courts held that respondent had no …


The Equitable Theory Of Injunction In Domestic Relations, Moss H. Thompson Jan 1952

The Equitable Theory Of Injunction In Domestic Relations, Moss H. Thompson

Cleveland State Law Review

Adequate protection in the nature of injunctive relief has been extended to all branches of the law where there is a primary property right to be protected. Despite the rapid development in the field of equitable relief it has always been considered extraneous to actions in domestic relations. The majority of the courts will not protect marital and domestic rights from third party intervention because such action involves a personal right rather than a necessary property right. There is adequate reason for a change in this precept which delegates personality to such an insecure position. Only a limited number of …


Torts-Alienation Of Parent's Affection, John J. Edman S.Ed. Jan 1952

Torts-Alienation Of Parent's Affection, John J. Edman S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a minor child, brought a tort action against defendant for enticing her mother to desert her, thereby depriving plaintiff of support, maintenance, and maternal care and affection. The trial court sustained defendant's demurrer. On appeal, held, affirmed. The statutes of the state provide other means of support of the child, and he has no right of action for the deprivation of a parent's love and affection. Nelson v. Richwagen, (Mass. 1950) 95 N.E. (2d) 545.
